The Waianae range, with Its numerous'deep gulches, forested ridges and cloud-capped peaks, offers a good field to climber and explorer, and since the coming of the men in khaki the mountains have been opened up, as it were. Surveys have been made, trails cut, passes assailed, every here and there on the island one comes upon little en campments of soldiers out on their quest of learning the lay of the land, studying and making conditions. The alert and omnipresent Japs, It is said, know the island better than any folk here save a few of the old natives; the Jap sampan men are thoroughly.acquainted with the coast, the charcoal burners with remote mountain fast nesses. the agricultural laborers with both low land ana mountain vauey. out the men in khaki know a tiling or two themselves, and are quiet ly. steadily adding to their knowl edge. • A company of engineers Is stationed here and is now at work making a military map of the Island of Oahn. Strolling along Officers’ Row at Schofield Barracks, we stopped at one of the white-washed ’’bunga loos"—as a sojer boy called it— for a call on an officer's wire and a chat about army life from the woman’s point of view.

The uv« rage person is fond of a dashing figure on horseback. a sr«.od horse and a good rider, and the day I visited the cavalry camp at i„etlebua I found iuuc1 pleasure tn watching hundreds of good tiricr* and mounts. Though at first approach to tu* barracks the arnty mule was touch more in evidence than the army horse. There were moles in the corral, mules In the long low shed*, mules driven to great wagons, mete* led and one or two officers' carriages were drawn along by mules. Such a big part <d things, it seemed incumbent to take a pic ture of ii worthy representative, and I asked a roan in authority if I might, then if he would have brought lorward a fine specimen, was assured that the one brought forward was con*!dr "ed by its groom—or whatever the at tendant Is called In the army language—-"the best mule tn the t'lilted States army.” on leaving the corral we passed the sol dier's quarters, afterward drove on to Officers' Row, marveling at the wonderful cleanliness and triteness everywhere, ali as clean and freah as the air that blew down from the mountains over tbo wide open stretches. The dwellings were but temporary affairs, but al ready had au established look, suggesting they were occupied by people that kept to the habit of making themselves at home as soon as landed. Having a note of Introduction to the colonel, we asked direction to his quarters, found ills house at the head of the row and an orderly on the veranda. Also a cat, which gave a peaceful, domestic look to the abode of the man of war. Shortly the colonel appeared, bade us welcome, and Informed us that the next day was monthly muster, to which we should consider ourselves Invited, and advised us to be present In the field at nine o'clock sharp. We s|K>ke of a camera, asked permission to use this weapon on the range, were assured officer* and men. horses and mules would be "dee-lighted." On this muster day at Schofield Barracks the Fifth cavalry was complete, the entire 'eglment now stationed together for the first 'Ime since the Civil war. The Fifth made a fine shoving as men and horses passed In re view before the colonel, and we congratulated ourselves that we had front seats for the play. It was very picturesque—the wide plains itounded on either side by mountains, the cavaltymen capering hither and yon. their saber* and rifles gleaming, and, for contrast, joyous skylarks singing overhead. The ladles of the post and we visitors were allowed close to the reviewing stand, had an excellent view of the horsemen as they went by first at a walk, next at a trot, then at a gallop. The mounted band, the color bearers, the officers, the soldier bove, the picture as a whole was well worth seeing. There was a stirring sug gestion of the pomp and circumstance of war. and we liked It—as a play, were glad It was only the i*omp and circumstance of practice. The music was inspiring, the dipping of the colors and the officers uncovering thereto, aroused emotion in us that out here so far from "the stales” Uncle Sam was looking after his citizens, promising them protection. But we hoped that the soldiers would never hare to face grim reality at Lellehua, that those skylarks there would never be disturbed by the crack of rifles used on men as targets It was a hot morning, but "muster” went on to the last detail. After the review horses and men were Inspected In companies, or whatever they call the groups, were examined critically fore and aft. stood and sat like statues while they went through the ordeaL It was a fine opportunity to get pictures, and we were grateful indeed when the colonel sent over his orderly to tell us we might go along the line and snap what we liked during In spection. There were a number of groups that presented themselTes as having good picture qualities, and we were especially pleased when the son of famous Phil Sheridan stood forth in range of the camera, the lieutenant and his horse both such desirable models. "Mr. Sheridan”—as the "Service" people say—is among the best of the polo players that the Fifth cavalry send out against the island men. At Schofield Barracks they have a splendid polo field, one of the finest in the world, of regulation length. Polo Is encour aged In the army, for the sake of the horse manship and the strengthening of qualities specially desirable In the soldier. The polo matches, sometimes played out at Lellehua, but oftener In the field at Moanalua, Just a few miles from Honolulu, are largely attended, arouse much enthusiasm. The Island players, riders from infancy, as a rule prove too much for the cavalrymen, though the latter have done excellent work the present season and shown excellent ponies. At the polo matches the army Is out tn full force. There are autos and carriages filled with ladles from the various posts, officers walking about visiting auto and carriage. En thusiasm runs high; the army people are one in their partisanship; the island people divid ed. as their Interests lie; If any of their ktn are among those hard-working rellowa on horseback it would be against nature for them not to be “agin” the army; but if they are free from personal bent, then a brilliant play by an officer will get its just applause. All races go to the games, the Oriental now taking a keen interest In sports; one sees his impas sive face lighted up by alert attention, hts eastern calm giving place to expressive ap proval. At the baseball games ..there Is a no more interested spectator than the smooth shaven. smooth faced Chinese man of affairs— unless It be the smooth-complexioned. mus tached Japanese of a like class. The tennis courts are popular at Schofield Barracks, stand at the end of the street nom inated Officers' Row, and before the little club house. The barracks form a little world of their own. a pleasant seeming little world of polo and tennis and teas and balls and riding parties, and mountain trips. Trails have been cut here and there In the mountains, peaks not so very long inaccessible are now more or less easily conquered. There are mountain excur sions where the is dies are Included as well as four thousand mues or mj—u»» i» geous side, tends to the Increase of adaptabil ity and breadth; and it is very admirable the philosophic way the ladles of the army accept the temporary shelters provided for them, take the little shacks and make them so attractive and homey. About the verandas along the Row vines were climbing and blossoming; tn the tiny lewns exotic looking young trees were growing and various ornamental shrubs, tubs of ferns bordered the paths, in the little gar dens tall cosmos was blooming, very effective against the white-washed walla. And the in teriors were charming, suggested travel and love of hooka. The places were so attractive that incon veniences were not thought of by us tilt brought to light by our hostess, who laughingly told or once being kept two hours tn the bath room when an early caller had possession of the all-too-publtc sitting room. And laughingly told of conditions as they were a year back, when the present ''bungafoos” were but sheds with tent wings. And the'back of the bouse, if we cared to investigate, was still just a tent; and sure enough we found the Jap servants out there ironing under canvas and getting ready the luncheon with such conveniences as could be set up In a canvas shelter. But all ap peared snug and sufficient and homey. As we sat on the little veranda and sapped cooling drinks—very refreshing after the hot. unshaded field—we had a talk with the host, come In weary and warm from the morning’s work. The captain spoke highly of the men In the regiment, and regretfully of the way people generally regard the soldier; declared it was unjust, unmerited, declared their men were a good set. The captain spoke of the dearth of decent amusements and decent so ciety for the soldiers, said many or them craved better things than were available, the majority of them were by no manner of means roysterers and wasters; he decried the black eye given them generally. Only a very few of the enlisted men had their families with them at Schofield Barracks; at the time of our visit there waa a small number of khaki shelters serving as homes for soldier’s wife and children: the tents pitched near the bottom of the gulch some distance beyond the polo field. Down In this gulch a number of Hawallans dwelt, cultivating taro, raising payas and bananas, but with large leisure for visits and music and lying at ease under the leafy, low-drooping branches that al most hid their little dwellings. We caught a glimpse of a Hawaiian girl tn a wine-red holoUn (native dress) with two or three khaki clad figures near by. Soldier boys studying native life perhaps. In the late afternoon we drove to the Gap In the Walanae mountains and baited there in the glory of the sunset, looked down on the plain with the barracks standing out so clearly in their isolation, on the broad ranch land be yond; farther away the sugar-cane and pine apple fields, then upon the Kootan range, at this honr flushed and gilded Into wonderful beauty. The place was marvelously quiet; tt did not seem possible that a cavalry camp was dwelling there on Gellehua ranch. Leilehua seemed little disturbed by the presence of the men in khaki; doubtless even the ghosts that hovered about the old hetan (ancient temple) at the foot of Mount Kala, found themselves molested to no great extent Probably at nightfall they still set out to wander through the gulches and over the ranch on those un welcome visits to their kindred. As we drove home In the quick-falling darkness we won dered If ever the ghosta met with challenge from the scattered sentries keeping guard at Schofield Barracks.

Hundreds of men have suffered untold pain in the Maine lum ber woods in years gone by, and many | stories of remarkable heroism in the face of great physical Raftering are on record. Perhaps one of the most remark able of these Is one which was for merly told by the late Dr. Paul Seavey of a Penobscot Indian who had one of his legs crushed to a pulp by a falling tree near Moosehead lake back in the late ’50’s. It was impossible to tiring the men out of the woods to a settle ment where a doctor could be obtained and to wait for a physician to be sum trqgied and to arrive would mean the c 4tth of the woodsman. Without anesthetics of any kind, and with no other instrument than a butcher knife, a meat saw and a com mon needle, the camp cook amputated the leg, while the Injured Indian watched every movement, the pupils of his beadlike eyes narrowing down to the site of pin points. Only once or twice through the whole operation did the quick intake of his bresth be tween clenched teeth give evidence of the pain be way undergoing. It was In dian stoicism at its best When the last stitch had been taken and the ■tamp had been tewed up. the Indian fainted. The nervous shock to his system was too great, however, and he died a few days later.—Bangor (Me.) Commercial. A'Firm Believer in Work.

Dick Ralston was thoroughly out of humor, both with himself and his sur roundings. He had expected so much from his vacation this year! How carefully he had planned his outing to be at Spring Lake at the same time as Margaret! He had pictured the bright hours be wouid spend with her. steadily gaining her favor, until there dawned that perfect day when he dared ask the important question. Instead of this alluring prospect, he found that insufferable Waiter Chase paying Mar garet open court. Dick gritted his teeth at the thought of the times that she had re fused his invitations because she bad already accepted Walter’s. The thought that he himself waa to blame for not inviting her sooner never seemed to enter his head. Tomorrow was his last holiday. Then he must leave Margaret and go back to work. To leave her was bad enough, but to leave her to Walter Chase—the thought was maddening. "You look as 1 feel,” said a crisp, young voice at his elbow. Dick turned quickly, a frown on his handsome face. He was in no mood to talk to any one just them, especial ly to Margaret’s young brother. “What's the matter?” he demanded irritably. "I've broken my last fishing rod.” Maurice answered gloomily, "and an empty pocket won’t pay for a new one.” "That's hard luck," Dick admitted, “but not enough to make you look like me. You need only a little money to make you happy." “And what do you need?" asked Maurice pointedly. Dick flushed at the blunt question, and the boy smiled at his embarrass ment. "Needn't think 1 don’t know," be said deliberately. "You're arraid that you stand no show with Margaret." The frank friendliness of the boy’s manner quite disarmed resentment "Do you know," he continued, con “Needn’t Think I Don’t Know." * fldentlally. “I'd bet most anything on you?" “You really would?” Dick responded quickly. "What makes yon feel that way?” “Well." Maurice answered slowly. "She acts sort o' mad at herself late ly. Besides, 1 heard her tell father once that there was nothing In it at all." "Nothing in what?" “Why. in her going with Chase, or course.” “That's the best news I’ve heard ttis summer!” Dick exclaimed, grasp Ing the boy’s hand warmly. "1 only wish you’d told me sooner!" "Might have If- you’d given me a chance!” laughed the lad, withdrawing bis fingers from the too friendly pres sure. After a moment’s reflection. Maurice began tentatively: "1 s’pose you’d like to win out with Margaret pretty well?" “Well, rather!" Dick exclaimed, his eyes glowing at the thought. "You’ve always treated me white," Maurice continued, "and now l’m go ing to pay up. Besides, it will be great fun to root Chase. He certainly Is the limit" “What do you propose to do?” asked Dick with dawning interest Maurice eyed him sharply. "Do you promise, word of honor, to do Just exactly as I tel) you? If you don’t I’ll get myself into a scrape. Maybe 1 shall, anyway." Gazing Into the lad’s earnest face, Dick promised to follow instructions. He could surely make matters no worse than they were. Perhaps—" The boy’s eager voice interrupted his thoughts. ’’Tomorrow morning, at six o’clock—mind you. not a bit later, or there’ll be other folks there—you be on the lake shore, behind tha' thicket near the bathhouse. Keep yourself hidden till you hear from me You'll know what to do then without being told." “Six o’clock!” echoed Dick. "V. Hat's your game?” "That’s my affair—until ton .irrosv morning. Will you come?” “1 guess so." * “Sure?" The boy’s tone was very earnest. 1 "Sure," the man agreed, wondering what would come of the promise. "Goodby till then!” exclaimed Mau i'ise. springing to his feet, “hut you’ll hear from me when the time comes, and don’t you forget it!" "By the way, Dick,” responded cor dially. “Can you get good fishing tackle at any store here?” “Sure—if you’ve got the price." "If—if you see that matters are' coming my way In the morning, just pick out the best fishing outfit you can find and let me foot the bill.” “Gee!" exclaimed Maurice. “Ain’t I glad 1 came! I’ll tell the cook to count on fish, beginning tomorrow.” But for his talk with Maurice. Dick thought that he could never have borne the miserable evening that fol lowed. Margaret seemed unconscious of his presence. Chase, looking hand somer and better groomed than ever, exulted In his rival’s discomfiture. Dressing next morning to meet his early appointment, Dick cursed him self for his folly. “That rascal Maurice is playing some trick on me!” he thought wrathfully. “What would the fellows say if they knew I'd do a fool thing like this just to humor a boy in his ! whim?” Ho dropped his collar button, amt that gave him a fresh outlet for his ill humor. Then he laughed at the whole affair and felt more at peace with himself and the world. As he left the house his watch told him that he would reach the rendez vous almost on the stroke of six. He concealed himself behind the thicket and awaited developments. Suddenly a boy’s cry of terror sounded on the air. followed by a woman's wild shriek. Instinctively Dick sprang to aid them. Maurice was far out on the lake, apparently seized with cramps. Mar garet, wringing her hands helplessly, stood on the shore calling for help. Off went Dick’s coat and shoes. A few vigorous strokes took him to the side of the sinking boy. There was a thrilling scene in the water, then both were safe on shore, with Mar garet hovering over her brother. Maurice’s fluttering eyelids opened at last, and he whispered that he’d soon be all right. Reassured as to the boy’s condition. Margaret turned her grateful eyes to his rescurer. “How can I ever thank you?" she exclaimed. "I don’t want your thanks," Dick answered boldly. “I—I want—you!" The rosy flush of dawn seemed re flected in the girl's cheeks as she stood for a moment with downcast eyes. "This Is no sudden desire," Dick continued earnestly. “It has been the greatest thing in my world since the first time I saw you. You remember, that glorious evening?” He was standing close beside her now. his dark eyes seeking hers. A# she slowly raised her drooping lashes, Maurice, whom they had both quite forgotten, sprang up with a whoop of delight “Congratulations!" he exclaimed. “I'm off for that fishing tackle!” The color deepened in Margaret’s cheeks as she drew from Dick, ex claiming: "Whatever does the boy mean?" “Never mind him!!’ responded Dick, regaining his former position.
